- Application filed April 1%, 1914;. Serial No. 832,678..

To all whom it may concern Be it known that we, CHARLES A. Annunsox and SAMUEL Tnnrr, both citlzens of the i United States, and residing in East Orange,

in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pencil-Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part thereof.

or crayon pencil-holders wherein the lead is projected from its casing when in use and is retracted into the casing when not in use by means of a. screw mechanism combined with means for automatically expelling the stub end of the lead or crayon when used up or broken off so that a fresh lead may be inserted in position for use.

Figure 1 is a sectional View of our pencih holder embodying our invention; Fig. 2 is a side View partly in section of the cap and,

interior parts other than the casing," Fig. 3 is an enlarged cross-sect1onal view taken on the line 83 of Fig. 2 looking 111 the direction of the arrow; Fig. 4 is a sectional view within the casing 6. The casing 6 and cap 9 are rotatably held together, as shown in Fig;' l, by means of a ring 10 contained withinthe annular recess 11 formed in the cap 9, and bead-1'2 formed in casing 6,Which insures a compact fit between casing and cap and enables them to be rotated one on the other.

"13 is the lead or crayon carrier, tubular in. form, and having afiixed thereto the stud 14:, which is adapted to pass through and operate along the slotted tube 8, as showii in Figs. -2'and 3. The carrier 13 holds within it the leador crayon 15, as shown ,in Fig.

2, and such lead or crayon is advanced or retracted as the stud 14- passes through the threaded bore 7 when the cap 9 is rotated intone direction or the other. 16 is a pin secured to the cap 9 andfitting Within the slotted tube 8 concentrically as shown in carrier.

Figs. 2 and t, and is so located that when the carrier 13 is retracted to the point of the pin 16, further retraction of the carrier 13 will cause the pin 15 to project through the tubular bore of the carrier 13 thereby expelling the stub end of the lead 15 held in such This enables the. carrier 13 to be free, to have a fresh lead or crayon inserted therein.

Referring to the modification shown in Figs. sand 5, the casing 6 is secured to the cap 9 which supports the pin 16 as in Figs. 1 and 2. 'Ho-wever, in the modification the slotted tube 8 is aiiixed to the point cap 17, as shown in Fig. 5, which is rotatably secured to thecasing 6 by the ring 10, located in the annular recess ll and head 12 as in Figs. 1 and 2. The lead carrier 13 with its stud 14 is constructed in the same manner as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, and it is evident that the turning. of the point cap 1? in one direction or the other will cause the lead 15 to advance from, or to be retracted with- /in, the casing in the same manner as in the preferred embodiment. A further retraction of the lead carrier l3, causing the pin 16 to project into the tubular bore and said carrier, as in the preferred embodiment, willenpel the stub of the lead 15 from such carrier.

The pencil-holder so shown and described by us is exceedingly simple in construction, efficient in operation and is efiective in advancing or retracting the lead as Well as in expelling the stub end when suchlead becomes Worn oft" or broken;

What We claim as new is l; A pencil-holder comprising a cylindrical casing having a threaded bore, a cap mounted to rotate horizontally on one end of the casing, a slotted tube telescoped Wholly Within the casing having one end at- Afixed to solid cap and the other end free --Within the casing, a tubular lead carrier, open at both ends, longitudinally movable within the slotted tube, means engaging said carrier and said threaded bore to ad.- vance or retract said carrier, and a pin affixed to said cap to expel the lead from the carrier when the latter is retracted againstthe pin. 1

. 2. A pencil-holder comprising a cylindrical casing having a threaded bore, a cap mounted to rotate horizontally on one end of the casing, a slotted tube telescoped wholly Within the casing having one end af-.

fixed to said cap and the other and free vance or retract said carrier, and a pin affixed to one end of, and concentrically within, saidjcasing to expel the lead from the carrier when the latter isretracted against the pin.
